- This book brings sex education into the 21st century. And it's much-needed: in one recent study, 95% of young people were not taught about LGBTQIA+ sex and relationships, and over half of the young women interviewed had experienced sexual harassment at school or college.
- The School of Sex Ed (formerly known as "Sexplain") featured in Jameela Jamil's take-over of Stylist, as well as the Guardian, Independent, Huffington Post and Boots' Healthy and Beauty magazine. Their partners include Girlguiding, the Sex Education Forum and Mooncup.
- From the summer of 2021, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education will be made compulsory in all UK secondary schools. In light of this, the teaching guidance will be updated for the first time in 20 years, placing sex in the context of proper consent, relationships and mental health.
